Portrait of Senyora Espalter is a 1852 oil by Joaquín Espalter y Rull, a Biedermeier work, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
This painting shows a woman in a dark green dress with lace sleeves and a black shawl. She's wearing a gold necklace and earrings, and has a ring on her left hand. Her dark hair is covered by a black veil. She's standing in front of a red wall with a gold frame on it. The woman is holding a piece of fabric in her right hand. She's looking straight ahead with a neutral expression. The background is a bit blurry, but you can see some gold decorations on the wall behind her. The woman in the painting seems to be from a wealthy family, judging by her fancy clothes and jewelry. You might want to look up the artist, Joaquín Espalter y Rull, to see more of his work.
